Algeria has one of the densest road networks in Africa thanks to its 109,000 km of roads. Road transport is the dominant mode of transport, for both travelers and goods. In 2006, 90% of transportation was by road. Responsibility for the construction of highways is devolved to the National Highway Agency (ANA).
The East-West motorway constitutes a major 1,216 km long axis, the construction of which is still underway on certain sections. The construction of the first sections began in the 1990s thanks to loans granted for the development of the country.
The construction of the highland’s highway (over 10,000 km of road) should have started in 2012 but did not actually start until 2014. The trans-Saharan road crosses the country of Algiers to the Niger border with a coating rate close to 100%.
